Old User Folders......safe to delete?

Under the "documents and setting" folder there are several user folders that
have old dates. Should these or are these safe to delete? This is XP SP2.

The primary user is a current date, but there are these other users with old
dates on the folder as follows:

All Users
All User.windows
Default User
Default User. Windows
Local Service
Local Service.NT Authority
Network Service
Network Service. NT Authority

This is a handme down PC that has had 3 different users.
My other XP machine only shows "All Users" and "myself" in the Documents and
Settings folder so Im thinking maybe all above except All Users can be
deleted?. I would like to recover some disk space if these can be safely
deleted.

Thank you for any tips
 
Yes, if you know what you are doing and no processes are running under the
context of the old users, but it might be safer to delete the profile from
the system properties, advanced tab, user profiles button.
